DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXAMPLE EMBODIMENTS

Example methods, apparatus, and products for presenting unique search result contexts in accordance with the present invention are described with reference to the accompanying drawings, beginning with FIG. 1. FIG. 1 sets forth a block diagram of automated computing machinery comprising an example computer (152) useful in presenting unique search result contexts according to embodiments of the present invention. The computer (152) of FIG. 1 includes at least one computer processor (156) or ‘CPU’ as well as random access memory (168) (‘RAM’) which is connected through a high speed memory bus (166) and bus adapter (158) to processor (156) and to other components of the computer (152).

Stored in RAM (168) is a search result presentation module (212), a module of computer program instructions improved for presenting unique search result contexts according to embodiments of the present invention. The search result presentation module (212) of FIG. 1 is configured to receive a plurality of search results generated in response to a search query. In the example of FIG. 1, each search result includes context information associated with the search result. The context information associated with the search result may be embodied, for example, as text that describes the search result, as text taken from a resource pointed to by the search result, and so on. Consider an example in which a particular search result identifies a web page that the search engine determines to be relevant to the search query. In such an example, the context information associated with the particular search result may include, for example, text taken from the header of the web page identified by the search result. Alternatively, the context information associated with the particular search result may include the text in the web page that follows search terms from the search query that were found in the web page. Likewise, the context information associated with the particular search result may include text in the web page that includes search terms from the search query that were found in the web page, and so on.

The search result presentation module (212) of FIG. 1 is further configured to identify, for each search result, a displayable portion of the context information associated with the search result. Identifying a displayable portion of the context information associated with the search result may be carried out, for example, through a rule that specifies a number of words within the context information that are to be displayed with each search result, through a rule that specifies a number of words within the context information that are to be displayed with each search result, through a rule that specifies a number of words that follow a search term within the context information that are to be displayed with each search result, and so on.

The search result presentation module (212) of FIG. 1 is further configured to determine, for each search result, whether the displayable portion of the context information for the search result is a duplicate of the displayable portion of the context information for another search result. Determining whether the displayable portion of the context information for the search result is a duplicate of the displayable portion of the context information for another search result may be carried out, for example, through the use of natural language processing techniques to determine if the displayable portion of the context information for the search result has a similar meaning as the displayable portion of the context information for another search result within a predetermined threshold, by determining whether the displayable portion of the context information for the search result is an identical match of the displayable portion of the context information for another search result, and so on.

The search result presentation module (212) of FIG. 1 is further configured to, responsive to determining that the displayable portion of the context information is a duplicate of the displayable portion of the context information for another search result, updating the displayable portion of the context information for the search result. Updating the displayable portion of the context information for the search result may be carried out, for example, by selecting a different portion of the context information as the displayable portion of the context information, by retrieving additional context information, and so on.

Also stored in RAM (168) is an operating system (154). Operating systems useful presenting unique search result contexts according to embodiments of the present invention include UNIX™, Linux™, Microsoft XP™, AIX™, IBM's i5/OS™, and others as will occur to those of skill in the art. The operating system (154) and search result presentation module (212) in the example of FIG. 1 are shown in RAM (168), but many components of such software typically are stored in non-volatile memory also, such as, for example, on a disk drive (170).

The computer (152) of FIG. 1 includes disk drive adapter (172) coupled through expansion bus (160) and bus adapter (158) to processor (156) and other components of the computer (152). Disk drive adapter (172) connects non-volatile data storage to the computer (152) in the form of disk drive (170). Disk drive adapters useful in computers for presenting unique search result contexts according to embodiments of the present invention include Integrated Drive Electronics (‘IDE’) adapters, Small Computer System Interface (‘SCSI’) adapters, and others as will occur to those of skill in the art. Non-volatile computer memory also may be implemented for as an optical disk drive, electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (so-called ‘EEPROM’ or ‘Flash’ memory), RAM drives, and so on, as will occur to those of skill in the art.

The example computer (152) of FIG. 1 includes one or more input/output (‘I/O’) adapters (178). I/O adapters implement user-oriented input/output through, for example, software drivers and computer hardware for controlling output to display devices such as computer display screens, as well as user input from user input devices (181) such as keyboards and mice. The example computer (152) of FIG. 1 includes a video adapter (209), which is an example of an I/O adapter specially designed for graphic output to a display device (180) such as a display screen or computer monitor. Video adapter (209) is connected to processor (156) through a high speed video bus (164), bus adapter (158), and the front side bus (162), which is also a high speed bus.

The example computer (152) of FIG. 1 includes a communications adapter (167) for data communications with other computers (182) and for data communications with a data communications network (100). Such data communications may be carried out serially through RS-232 connections, through external buses such as a Universal Serial Bus (‘USB’), through data communications networks such as IP data communications networks, and in other ways as will occur to those of skill in the art. Communications adapters implement the hardware level of data communications through which one computer sends data communications to another computer, directly or through a data communications network. Examples of communications adapters useful for presenting unique search result contexts according to embodiments of the present invention include modems for wired dial-up communications, Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) adapters for wired data communications network communications, and 802.11 adapters for wireless data communications network communications.

For further explanation, FIG. 2 sets forth a flow chart illustrating an example method for presenting unique search result contexts according to embodiments of the present invention. The example method of FIG. 2 includes receiving (214), by a search result presentation module (212), a plurality of search results (202) generated in response to a search query. The search result presentation module (212) of FIG. 2 may be embodied as a module of computer program instructions useful in presenting search results generated by a search engine in response to a search query. The search result presentation module (212) of FIG. 2 may be embodied as a module of the search engine. Alternatively, the search result presentation module (212) of FIG. 2 may be embodied a module of a search result rendering application such as, for example, a web browser.

In the example method of FIG. 2, each search result (204, 208) includes context information (206, 210) associated with the search result (204, 208). In the example method of FIG. 2, the context information (206, 210) associated with the search result (204, 208) may be embodied, for example, as text that describes the search result, as text taken from a resource pointed to by the search result, and so on. Consider an example in which a particular search result (204) identifies a web page that the search engine determines to be relevant to the search query. In such an example, the context information (206) associated with the particular search result (204) may include, for example, text taken from the header of the web page identified by the search result (204). Alternatively, the context information (206) associated with the particular search result (204) may include the text in the web page that follows search terms from the search query that were found in the web page. Likewise, the context information (206) associated with the particular search result (204) may include text in the web page that includes search terms from the search query that were found in the web page, and so on.

Consider an example in which the search term “computing gaming” was entered into a search engine. In such an example, assume that a first search result pointed to a first web page and included the following context information, taken from the text displayed on the first web page: “Shop PC games and new releases, including hardware and accessories. Find everything you need to dominate the competition.” Further assume that a second search result pointed to a second web page and included the following context information, taken from the text displayed on the second web page: “A PC game, also known as a computer game, is a video game played on a personal computer. PC games are distinguished from traditional video games that are played on a video game console or arcade machine.” Lastly assume that a third search result pointed to a third web page and included the following context information, taken from the text displayed on the third web page: “Shop for PC games and hardware accessories for your gaming system. Games are available via instant download.”

The example method of FIG. 2 also includes identifying (216), by the search result presentation module (212) for each search result (204, 208), a displayable portion of the context information (206, 210) associated with the search result (204, 208). In the example method of FIG. 2, identifying (216) a displayable portion of the context information (206, 210) associated with the search result (204, 208) may be carried out, for example, through a rule that specifies a number of words within the context information (206, 210) that are to be displayed with each search result (204, 208), through a rule that specifies a number of words within the context information (206, 210) that are to be displayed with each search result (204, 208), through a rule that specifies a number of words that follow a search term within the context information (206, 210) that are to be displayed with each search result (204, 208), and so on.

Consider the example described above in which the search term “computing gaming” was entered into a search engine and three results were returned from the search. In such an example, the search result presentation module (212) may specify that the first sentence of the context information of each search result will be designated as the displayable portion of the context information associated with the search result. As such, the displayable portion of the context information associated with the first search result would be “Shop PC games and new releases, including hardware and accessories,” the displayable portion of the context information associated with the second search result would be “A PC game, also known as a computer game, is a video game played on a personal computer,” and the displayable portion of the context information associated with the third search result would be “Shop for PC games and hardware and accessories for your gaming system.”

The example method of FIG. 2 also includes determining (218), by the search result presentation module (212) for each search result (204, 208), whether the displayable portion of the context information for the search result is a duplicate of the displayable portion of the context information for another search result. In the example method of FIG. 2, determining (218) whether the displayable portion of the context information (210) for the search result (208) is a duplicate of the displayable portion of the context information (206) for another search result (204) may be carried out, for example, through the use of natural language processing techniques to determine if the displayable portion of the context information (210) for the search result (208) has a similar meaning as the displayable portion of the context information (206) for another search result (204) within a predetermined threshold, by determining whether the displayable portion of the context information (210) for the search result (208) is an identical match of the displayable portion of the context information (206) for another search result (204), and so on.

Consider the example described above in which the search term “computing gaming” was entered into a search engine and three results were returned from the search. In such an example, the search result presentation module (212) may specify that the displayable portion of the context information for a particular search result is a duplicate of the displayable portion of the context information for another search result if fifty percent of the terms contained in the context information associated with a search result are also found in the context information associated with another search result. When comparing the context information associated with the second search result to the context information associated with the first search result, the only terms contained in the context information associated with the second search result that are also found in the context information associated with the first search result are the terms “PC” and “game.” As such, the percentage of terms contained in the context information associated with the second search result that also appear in the context information associated with the first search result is not sufficient to qualify the context information associated with the second search as a duplicate of the context information associated with the first search. In this example, however, the context information associated with the third search result includes the following terms that are also found in the context information associated with the first search result: “shop,” “PC,” “games,” “and,” “hardware,” and “accessories.” As such, six of the eleven terms contained in the context information associated with the third search result are also found in the context information associated with the first search result, such that the context information associated with the third search result qualifies as a duplicate of the context information associated with the first search result.

The example method of FIG. 2 also includes, responsive to determining that the displayable portion of the context information is a duplicate of the displayable portion of the context information for another search result, updating (220), by the search result presentation module (212), the displayable portion of the context information for the search result. In the example method of FIG. 2, updating (220) the displayable portion of the context information for the search result may be carried out, for example, by selecting a different portion of the context information as the displayable portion of the context information.

Consider the example described above in which the search term “computing gaming” was entered into a search engine and three results were returned from the search. In such an example, the search result presentation module (212) may specify that, upon determining that the displayable portion of the context information associated with a particular search result is a duplicate of the displayable portion of the context information for another search result, the displayable portion of the context information for the particular search result is updated to be the next sentence in the context information associated with the particular search result. Because the displayable context information associated with the third search result qualified as a duplicate of the displayable context information associated with the first search result, the displayable context information associated with the third search result can be updated to be the next sentence in the context information associated with the third search result, which reads “Games are available via instant download.” As such, the context information that is presented to the user for each search result will be distinct, such that the user is not presented with search results that appear to be indistinguishable and duplicates of other search results.

For further explanation, FIG. 3 sets forth a flow chart illustrating a further example method for presenting unique search result contexts according to embodiments of the present invention. The example method of FIG. 3 is similar to the example method of FIG. 2 as it also includes receiving (214) a plurality of search results (202) generated in response to a search query, identifying (216) a displayable portion of the context information (206, 210) associated with the search result (204, 208), determining (218) whether the displayable portion of the context information for the search result is a duplicate of the displayable portion of the context information for another search result, and responsive to determining that the displayable portion of the context information is a duplicate of the displayable portion of the context information for another search result, updating (220) the displayable portion of the context information for the search result.

In the example method of FIG. 3, determining (218) whether the displayable portion of the context information for the search result is a duplicate of the displayable portion of the context information for another search result can include determining (302) whether the displayable portion of the context information for the search result is an identical match of the displayable portion of the context information for another search result. In the example method of FIG. 3, determining (302) whether the displayable portion of the context information for the search result is an identical match of the displayable portion of the context information for another search result may be carried out, for example, through the use of a string comparison algorithm that compares two strings. In such an example, the displayable portion of the context information for each search result may be used as input to such a string comparison algorithm to determine whether context information for each search result is duplicated.

In the example method of FIG. 3, determining (218) whether the displayable portion of the context information for the search result is a duplicate of the displayable portion of the context information for another search result can alternatively include determining (304) whether the displayable portion of the context information is identical to the displayable portion of the context information for another search result within a predetermined threshold. In the example method of FIG. 3, the predetermined threshold may specify, for example, the percentage of terms in the displayable portion of the context information for a search result that must also be contained in the displayable portion of the context information for another search result in order for the context information associated with each search result to be characterized as being duplicates. For example, the predetermined threshold may specify that the context information associated with a first search result is a duplicate of the context information associated with a second search result if fifty percent of the terms contained in the context information associated with the first search result are also found in the context information associated with the second search result. In such an example, the predetermined threshold may be a set to a default value, set by a user, set by a system administrator, and so on.

In the example method of FIG. 3, determining (218) whether the displayable portion of the context information for the search result is a duplicate of the displayable portion of the context information for another search result can alternatively include determining (306) whether the meaning of the displayable portion of the context information associated with the search result is similar to the meaning of the displayable portion of the context information associated with another search result within a predetermined threshold. In the example method of FIG. 3, the meaning of the displayable portion of the context information associated with a particular search result can be determined, for example, through the use of natural language processing techniques. Natural language processing is a field of computer science, artificial intelligence, and linguistics concerned with the interactions between computers and natural languages utilized by humans. Natural language processing techniques can be composed of computer program instructions configured to extract meaningful information from natural language input. In such an example, the displayable portion of the context information for each search result may be used as input to such a natural language processing algorithm to identify the extent to which the meaning of the displayable portion of the context information for each search result are similar. If the extent to which the meaning of the displayable portion of the context information for each search result are similar exceeds the predetermined threshold, the displayable portion of the context information for each search result are characterized as being duplicates.

For further explanation, FIG. 4 sets forth a flow chart illustrating a further example method for presenting unique search result contexts according to embodiments of the present invention. The example method of FIG. 4 is similar to the example method of FIG. 2 as it also includes receiving (214) a plurality of search results (202) generated in response to a search query, identifying (216) a displayable portion of the context information (206, 210) associated with the search result (204, 208), determining (218) whether the displayable portion of the context information for the search result is a duplicate of the displayable portion of the context information for another search result, and responsive to determining that the displayable portion of the context information is a duplicate of the displayable portion of the context information for another search result, updating (220) the displayable portion of the context information for the search result.

In the example method of FIG. 4, updating (220) the displayable portion of the context information for the search result can include identifying (402), by the search result presentation module (212), a different portion of the context information associated with the search result. In the example method of FIG. 4, identifying (402) a different portion of the context information associated with the search result may be carried out by selecting a portion of the context information associated with the search result that does not include the portion of the context information associated with the search that was determined to be a duplicate of the displayable portion of the context information associated with another search result.

In the example method of FIG. 4, updating (220) the displayable portion of the context information for the search result can include setting (404), by the search result presentation module (212), the displayable portion of the context information for the search result to the different portion of the context information associated with the search result. Consider the example described above in which the context information associated with a particular search result included the following text: “Shop for PC games and hardware accessories for your gaming system. Games are available via instant download.” In the example described above, the phrase “Shop for PC games and hardware accessories for your gaming system” was identified as being a duplicate of the displayable portion of another search result. In such an example, setting (404) the displayable portion of the context information for the search result to the different portion of the context information associated with the search result could be carried out by designating the second sentence of the context information as the displayable portion of the context information, such that the displayable portion of the context information would be set (404) to “Games are available via instant download.”

In the example method of FIG. 4, updating (220) the displayable portion of the context information for the search result can alternatively include retrieving (406), by the search result presentation module (212), additional context information associated with the search result. In the example method of FIG. 4, retrieving (406) additional context information associated with the search result may be carried out, for example, by extracting additional text from a web page pointed to in a search result. Consider the example described above in which the context information associated with a particular search result included the following text: “Shop for PC games and hardware accessories for your gaming system. Games are available via instant download.” In this example, assume that the entire phrase was identified as being a duplicate of the displayable portion of another search result. In such an example, the sentence that follows “Games are available via instant download” may be retrieved from the web page pointed to by the search result.

In the example method of FIG. 4, updating (220) the displayable portion of the context information for the search result can also include setting (408), by the search result presentation module (212), the displayable portion of the context information for the search result to the additional context information associated with the search result. Consider the example described above in which the context information associated with a particular search result included the following text: “Shop for PC games and hardware accessories for your gaming system. Games are available via instant download.” In this example, assume that the entire phrase was identified as being a duplicate of the displayable portion of another search result. In such an example, setting (408) the displayable portion of the context information for the search result to the additional context information associated with the search result could be carried out by setting (408) the displayable portion of the context information for the search result to the sentence that follows “Games are available via instant download,” which was previously retrieved (406).
